The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

228 – Scene 228# Until This Body Rots and Crumbles

*

The devil is often the equivalent of the final boss.

The axis of evil and a huge wall blocking the protagonist and his group. At the same time, a person who directly threatens the human world.

The devil that people in this world think of is not much different from our perception.

The Demon King, the leader of demons and monsters, is an evil entity that must be defeated. Excluding Lucaella and the devils of hell, the most threatening evil on earth is definitely the Devil.

Therefore, their reaction was completely understandable.

“The devil… Young master…”

Beth looked up at me with a very anxious face. For a young girl, the existence of her her demon lord she will feel even more scary.

Cynthia asked, placing her hand on her shoulder as if to comfort her.

“When you say something like that, does that mean a human can become a demon lord?”

“Okay. “As long as you meet the conditions, you can be ‘recognized’ as the Demon King.”

“Conditions?”

“We must pacify the north and receive the support of the demons.”

According to the settings of the original work, there are a total of three conditions to be recognized as a demon lord. You can become a true demon king only if you receive the support of a large number of demons, the consent of the highest ranking demons, and finally, the approval of the god of hell.

However, since it is not a publicly known fact, only the support of the magicians was mentioned.

The strict Cynthia still seemed unconvinced.

“Honestly, wouldn’t it be difficult? Will these people who hate humans really support you? . Besides, is there really a need to become a demon lord? If we do that, we will turn the entire country into an enemy and take great risks.”

“That’s a good point. Cynthia, there are more than one thing you said. So, I will approach the demons not as Tristan but as someone else wearing a mask.”

The method I chose was 2 roles per person.

On the outside, he acts as Tristan, who is in charge of the overall command of the northern expedition, but behind the scenes, he must play a random character who will become the devil king with the support of the devils of the north. In other words, while in the north, one person must fulfill the schedule of two stations.

“… You’re thinking of wearing a mask. It may not be completely impossible, but you won’t have any body left… ?”

“That’s why we need your cooperation.”

I spoke to the six pairs of eyes looking at me in the dark.

“I know what you are worried about. You must be embarrassed to hear that you suddenly become a demon lord. However, I do not intend to be an enemy of humanity. What I want to become is simply to reign over the demons. I will reign over them and make the demon realm, including the North, and the demons of this world obey them. Becoming a demon lord is ultimately the result. Because ruling over demons is consistent with the story of becoming a demon king.”

My enemies are neither the people of this world nor the demons of the North, but the players of the outside world.

If I become the Demon King, just as humans unite against the Demon King, the Demons will also be able to unite around me to deal with the players.

If a variable arises and the appearance of the devil is brought forward, it will be a headache.

Later, they are busy trying to stop the players, but if a situation arises where they have to deal with monsters and demons, this world will end.

If you sit in the devil’s seat, you can prevent conflicts between humans and demons in advance. In addition, all countries will cooperate to fight against the common enemy called the Demon King, so by the time the players show up, it will be a fighting situation.

The tip of their sharpened blade will be pointed at the players, not the Demon King.

“I will not devour this country. Even now, you can easily take over a country like this if you put your mind to it, without having to become a demon lord. The reason it has not been done so far is because the potential benefits that could be obtained have not been sufficiently large. Like this, I move only with the maximum benefit in mind. Becoming a demon king and ruling over demons is also in the same context. Because that will bring the greatest benefit to me and my family.”

At this point, when the 3rd Demon King has not yet appeared, it is a good opportunity for me to aim for the position of Demon King. Moreover, it was also an opportunity to change the future of the people.

In fact, it wasn’t just the humans in this world called NPC who fell at the hands of the player. In the early days, players’ targets were so-called mobs… Because they were monsters and demons.

But this is just my last wish… Now, the first step is to convince them.

“So will everyone cooperate with me?”

Helga, the yes-man, kept nodding her head in response to my question, and Lian still had a look on her face that said she wasn’t sure, but whatever.

On the other hand, the maids seemed to need some time.

After a while, Myuri, the eldest sister and representative of the Annihilation Maids, opened her mouth.

“In other words… “You don’t want to lose either humans or demons, right?”

“That’s the way it is.”

“Hehe…”

“…?”

Muri smiles a little.

She told her unexpected story.

“Actually, I was a little worried, but you didn’t change as expected.”

“… “It hasn’t changed?”

“Yes. Master said that a long time ago. Demons are no different from humans. She is a being who feels happiness and sadness like a human…”

Tristan said that?

This is my first time hearing this.

Cynthia said, agreeing with Murie’s words

“You may not remember, but we do. “What a kind and wonderful personality the young master had.”

Murie and Cynthia, who were Tristan’s nannies and teachers, had soft smiles on their lips, as if they were reminiscing about the past.

Through the ordeal, I had some memories of Tristan’s childhood, but I don’t remember him saying anything like that. That really seemed like something that happened when I was young.

Even so, I feel embarrassed when something about my childhood that I don’t know is mentioned.

Rika and Beth also gave positive answers.

“You are a master. “I agree.”

“That’s right… You are a good boy. I will follow you, Master…”

“It seems like a decision has been made.”

“So, we will all join in your will.”

The four maids bent one knee in front of me.

Muri continued her words in a calm voice.

“If you think about it, we are no longer human beings. “They are probably closer to undead or demons than to humans.”

As she said, they have regained consciousness, but strictly speaking, they are closer to living corpses.

“You didn’t give up until the end and saved us.”

“That…”

“You have been that kind of person since long ago. Because he was a pure person who had compassion not only for humans but also for non-humans.”

Remember? Pure? This doesn’t suit Tristan at all. I was about to ask what kind of nonsense that was but stopped.

Their eyes looking up at me were definitely sincere.

“If you become the Demon King and take pity on non-humans like us and take them in, we will have to actively help you.”

“You…”

I was speechless.

Cynthia added with a solemn look.

“I will follow you, master, until this body rots and crumbles.”

Percussion-!

“Ugh… ?!”

Bella’s wooden sword floated in the air and landed on the lawn.

“My skills have improved a lot…”

“I see.”

Bella mutters as if she is dumbfounded.

After several intense exchanges, it was I who took the upper hand.

She swung her sword with all her concentration. It was only recently that I noticed this, but the more serious I thought, the better I tended to concentrate.

Should I say it is a state of trance?

As the swordsmanship I learned through ‘Jealousy’ gradually became familiar, my application ability increased to the point where I could make various irregular attacks or react to unexpected attacks.

Ironically, the best results came when I was most depressed.

After declaring that I would become the Demon King, my heart became quite distressed.

This was especially true when facing Wendy or Bella, who were the opposite of the devil.

Warriors and heroes. Because they both had a destiny to defeat the devil, a great evil.

“Ah… Break it down. Losing like this…”

Bella looks regretful.

I was just taking advantage of the moment when I was distracted.

I guess I was a little embarrassed when I saw her so focused.

Of course, if it had been Jingeom, the outcome of the match would have been different…

“Ugh. Count. So what should we do?”

“What do you mean?”

“I beg your pardon? “You sure haven’t forgotten, right?”

Bella puts her hands on her waist as if she is amazed.

“I decided to accept anything if I won the match. “The Count won, so it’s my turn to listen.”

Ah… Come to think of it, I think Bella said that before sparring today.

Out of frustration, she just said she knew.

“Well… How about doing whatever you want?”

“No. “Speak quickly.”

I scratched my cheek.

Right now I want to swing my sword a little more.

Bella asked with a slightly worried look, as if these thoughts were visible on her face.

“Count. What’s not good?”

“… “It’s just that I don’t have the energy.”

“Hmm… Are you taking the medicine I gave you?”

“Maybe?”

“Maybe? “Are you kidding me?”

No… What kind of person takes an aphrodisiac pill to feel low? .

“Are you stupid? “I have no energy because I don’t take the medicine.”

“Do you know what kind of medicine that is?”

“What medicine? What kind of medicine is this? “It’s good medicine for the body.”

“…”

Looking at Bella’s expression her her her, it seemed like she really didn’t know.

“Anyway… Even if men give you nice things, you have to check them every day.”

“I’m sorry.”

“That’s Okay. “I didn’t ask you to apologize so obediently, did you?”

Bella, who was grumbling, seemed lost in thought for a moment, and then she cautiously opened her mouth.

“Then… Since he lost the bet, I guess I can cheer him up. That’s okay, right?”
